HELI FISHING

DEPARTING DARWIN

THE EXPERIENCE

Our Heli Fishing experiences provide unmatched access to remote, permit-only fishing locations, spending less time travelling and more time fishing while witnessing some spectacular Top End Landscapes along the way.   

We offer Full Day Helifish, Half Day HeliFish and custom designed multi day fishing adventures with an option to suit all time frames and experience levels, including absolute beginners. 

We catch a variety of fish all year round with target species including Barramundi, Salmon and Mangrove Jack.  

All of our pilots are trained fishing guides happily sharing their skills, techniques and local knowledge to give you the best chance of success.  

  • All fishing equipment including quality rods, reels and lures are provided 
  • We practice catch (great photo!) and release to protect fish stocks and the habitats we visit. 
  • All tours operate as private charters with a minimum of 2 passengers (or equivalent payment) required. 
  • Individual helicopter capacity ranges from 3 seats to 5 and is passenger weight dependant. 
  • Multiple helicopters are available to cater for small groups wanting to fish together.   
  • BYO alcohol is permitted. 

NB: Tour timings listed for the Half & Full Day HeliFish and the HeliFish Pub Crawl Combo are subject to change without notice.

HALF DAY HELIFISH

Our half day HeliFish focusses on fishing hot-spots to the North East of Darwin. Habitats visited include the billabongs, barrages and seasonal floodplains!

Target species include Barramundi, Mangrove Jack, Salmon and more!

  • Up to 1 hour flying & 3 hours fishing 

FULL DAY HELIFISH

Our full day Helifish focuses on the abundant floodplains of the Daly River region as well as the coastal creeks, estuaries and striking red cliffs area of Anson Bay (refer map below).

The scale and remoteness of these areas means we rarely come across others and the fish stocks are consistently high with great variety.  More of our customers have reeled in their bucket-list “metery” in this area than anywhere else we visit. 

The scenic flying in this region is visually spectacular!  We overfly extensive river systems, vast floodplains, wetlands, billabongs and long stretches of deserted white sandy beaches –  and we can fish them all! 

  • Up to 2 hours flying & 6 hours fishing 

HELIFISH PUB CRAWL COMBO

This tour combines two of the Top Ends favourite pastimes… fishing and time at the pub with our mates!

Spend the morning fishing our half-day sites followed by time at 2 unique Top End Pubs. Nirvana? We think so.   

Based on season and operations your Pilot will advise the 2 pubs you will visit. Drinks and lunch are pay as you go.
